Done.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nDavid took about a billion pictures, and I hate them all equally. It’s a grey stormy day in Sydney, and we had to run out between rain showers. And the thunder is just moving back in again.
\nAt any rate, the Lace and Cables Sweater is done.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSpecs: Lace and Cables Sweater, by Jo Sharp, from Knit 2<\/a>.
\nYarn: Jo Sharp Alpaca Silk Georgette<\/a> in Musk
\nNeedles: Knit Picks Fixed Circulars in 3.25mm.
\nOverall, I’m pretty happy with it, but I do have a few complaints. (What else is new?) The body is a little short, and the sleeves are a little long. I can live with the sleeves, but I can tell I’m going to be pulling at the bottom of the sweater a lot. If I really can’t live with it, I may end up undoing the cast on edge, and making it a bit longer, but I don’t have much yarn left. From the picture I should have known it would be short, but I thought the model was just wearing her pants very low.
\nHalf of the pictures that David took were vetoed because my tummy was showing.
\nThe other complaint I have is the sizing. Jo Sharp has a big difference in her sizes, 10cm (4″) to be precise. I fell smack in the middle of two sizes, so I took the safe route and went with the larger size, but now I wish I’d gone with the smaller. It’s not a big deal, but I think it would be better a little more fitted.
\nThe yarn is really, really nice to work with, and I’m happy with the resulting fabric. However, be warned, it is a little itchy to wear against the skin. It’s nice and soft to knit though!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
